Extra! Episode 21 – M.A.S.K. Joins The Revolution

  By , , ,

On this episode of TransMissions Extra!, we continue our coverage of IDW’s Revolution with a review of the M.A.S.K. Revolution tie-in. As always, read the comic first if you don’t want SPOILERS for the story. M.A.S.K. was one of those 80’s toy lines that took some ideas from both Transformers and G.I. Joe to create a unique concept. Both the toyline and cartoon have been mostly dormant since the 80’s, so it’s ripe for reboot/reimagining. Check out our in depth comic review! What is TransMissions: Extra!?
